Greenwich Fire Truck Crashes After Police Car Burns Down Greenwich Fire Truck Crashes After Police Car Burns Down
Greenwich Fire Truck Crashes After Police Car Burns Down It's been a rough few weeks for emergency vehicles in one Connecticut town.  Last month, a Greenwich Police SUV was destroyed when a brush fire engulfed the vehicle, reducing it to its metal frame. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This week, a Greenwich fire truck responding to a call crashed on Lake Avenue. Engine 8 lost control on Thursday morning, Dec. 5, while en route to another crash caused by "wintry weather." No other vehicles were involved in the incident.  The firefighters aboard were transported to a local hospital as a precaution and have since been released.
